What's the real reason you aren't on Social Media heavy?

[Pazzy]

Because social media is bullshyt.

Yep. Too much bullshyt.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

You dont gotta use it heavy but to not have it all means you have something to hide. Ugliness, you're a cheater, criminal background, introverted lifestyle, etc.

Nah, people have no shame and criminals, attention whores, cheaters etc u name it are all over fb. Some people are just private and don't care to know what u are doing and have no interest in telling people what they are doing. People going out and having fun existed well before social media.

There's a thing called real life that's a lot more enjoyable and rewarding.

Close thread.

I have a Tumblr, I never got passionate about it cause pictures I took myself probably would get little to none reblog or favorites, I'm not photogenic so IG wouldn't fit me and Facebook never appealed to me.


I have no beef with people who enjoy those sites but they aren't my cup of tea.

This is by far the WORST logic I've ever seen in my history on message boards. Wow.

 

[N*E*R*D]

I don't like taking photos and seeing people I used to know looking super happy having lives (even maybe when they don't ) fukks with how I feel about myself and how much time I spend on the coli. I don't need all that inner turmoil right now.

Vent my guy we are here for you.

TheColi cares if nobody else cares

 

[GreenGhxst]

Used to stay away because I don't really care about what anyone else does and it's really a pissing contest sometimes, but now that I'm an artist and I'm a little older I find it easier to stay in contact with friends and people I care about

Snapchat is my shyt and I"m heavy on twitter, facebook just wasn't for me

 

[MarcMan]

It just seems like a lot of work to tell people where I'm at and what I'm doing all the time. Just not my thing, I'd rather just enjoy the experience.

 

[Shadow King]

Social media IS shallow just because it's designed to cater to people's appetite for the superficial. I am boring but if I am actually doing something, I'm going to enjoy the moment and now try to do it one-handed, or get the right angle, or worry how I come across on camera, etc. I don't live my life like a photo shoot or documentary.

Good point breh. Thanks! But you could take this onto social media and gather a following based on your thoughts. How would it be to have a side hustle podcast of ppl who listen to you?


If you are lame then yes it is lame.


I hear ya. But it seems like We wouldn't be friends... kinda negative, and extreme... but I actually like your posts!

Not sure where you guys get this fallacy tho of having to prove yourself as if social media is the advent of that. You are constantly having to prove yourself in everyday life, friendships, business, relationships.

It's nature, we don't support or believe in what we can't see. That's not feeling pressured to prove yourself, that's your ego speaking, it's common sense.


You are lame breh. Stop it. Red flags all over it. You don't have real friends and there's nothing wrong with it.

You prolly cool ppl too, but no one fukks with anyone that negative.

Projecting about chasing p*ssy. Most ppl I know ain't slidin into DMs. They just use social media the same way y'all do here.

Hell, I have a good friends who don't post personal things just their work, and it gets retweeted around the nation. Puts $$$ in their pocket.

Valid points. But why not learn a new skill? Learning to adapt, I think this is really the driving force. 95% don't know how to use it or get results so they shyt on it.



That the thing, social media can make you money very easily. VERY. As long as you are about something. Being an influencer is a guarantee to always have access to money. One of my boys wanted to be a comedian, so he was doing the videos on instagram and what not. Got up to 15K ppl, local companies hit him up. My chick is a fashion blogger. Only has like 1500 followers, but her work is A1. Local and out of state companies blow her up to send her products for reviews, become a brand ambassador if she likes it. Makes a cool $500 a month just off african head wraps.


This is true. But they put the work in. That's like saying im mad someone with less quality is mnroe recognized than me. Somewhere, that person made better moves.

You don't have to update your life at all. Post your work. I'm of the belief that everyone has a hobby. DO it, post it.

Another reach. You can enjoy life fully and still indulge in 20 minutes of social media a day. You likely spend more time here that adds 0 value to your life beyond its update on news.

My boy quit his job as an engineer to promote for ppl. Makes more money now. You hit up influencers and break bread to give an honest review and post. You find that bad chick or poppin dude out here, DM them, drop em the song/beat, whatever. Then just let em post and you drop 100 in their account. Simple.Organic. You should NEVER post or spam your music directly.

This is a real thing. You dont need social media for that tho. I never thought that shyt was cool. real social > social media. I'm just saying you can be at home and give an opinion or ask others opinions, document something small and impersonal.

Eh, another negative post. Starting to believe you just boring breh. And there is nothing wrong with that. Psychology tells me, hopping to the extreme of "I don't have to show off" says that you have nothing going on. You can be on social media and not show off breh. Just interact... how is show off the only thing that comes to mind.


Thank you, this is what is real. I feel like another root cause is social media with their face attach will poke holes in their pretend lives. When ppl know who you are in real life and see how you act online, if its not congruent, ppl gonna get at you. If you dont know who you are yourself, its naturally gonna come off fake.

I use social media for connecting too, not validation.



That is very true. My apologies if you think this is directed towards all.

Exactly hwo you should use it. Display your talents/strengths.

We don't care about your business bruh. Nobody tryna pick your life apart.

If you got somthing good going on, or a talent, share it.

I think I could go through your posts and find interested shyt you got going that could bring you at the least a small following. IF you truly have nothing to share, use it to share your homies shyt.If you can;t be great or be the best, be the most helpful.

They'll pay it forward.

Reality is alot of these nikkas are socially awkward losers.. I remember one breh here was acting like carrying a conversation on a elevator was like a life or death situation

 

[AntLive1981]

Cause I’m damn near 40 and I grew up in an era before all this shyt existed. I use Social Media for entertainment and to keep up with family I dont regularly see but I dont base my life around it and I could actually function without it as opposed to a lot of younger folks!

 

[Krisrunner2049]

Most y’all old bruhs. Try being a youngin that doesn’t fw social media missing out on so many hoes

 

[Ghost Utmost]

How many more times you gotta see people post their got damn lunch?

Just got bored of it and got tired of being on stage.

"I'm in Cincinnati! Better post a pic of the bridge with 'Cincinnati' on it! Now people will know I have been to Cincinnati!"

 

[killacal]

This shyt bout money and power, both of which can and often are best obtained behind the scenes.
We ain't on that jester shyt over here.

preach

 

[Starboy52]

I don’t fukk with people like that.

Also, just to see people go when you tell them you don’t have a personal twitter/IG/Snapchat
